Rocker Light Switches
Similar to a seesaw, these switches have an actuator that pivots when pressed to turn them on or off. They’re often used to control lighting, but they also work with AC motor loads up to 80% of the current rating. All fit standard wall plates (not included) and won’t stick out from your wall as much as toggle light switches.
Switches with spring-clamp terminals are quicker to install than those with screw terminals. Just push your bare wires into the connectors.
Illuminated switches glow when turned off, making them easy to spot in the dark.
Wall switch lockouts (sold separately) mount over switches to secure them in the on or off position.
